The GBP7.5 million ($12 million) British embassy, designed by London-based design and architectural firm Jordan + Bateman, houses a chancellery, consular and visa departments. Each of the units features different access and security requirements. The facility also houses a new ambassador’s residence.
Jordan + Bateman has provided real reductions in the amount of carbon used in the whole lifetime of the building. This has the additional advantage of reducing the building’s running costs.
This competition winning design provides a high quality civil design. The site changed three times during the design stage and the complex brief continued to be developed and changed by the stakeholders during the building process.
